Rumsfeld: Don't Call Them 'Insurgents'

WASHINGTON (AP) -- More than 2 1/2 years into the Iraq war, Donald H. Rumsfeld has decided the enemy are not insurgents.

''This is a group of people who don't merit the word `insurgency,' I think,'' Rumsfeld said Tuesday at a Pentagon news conference. He said the thought had come to him suddenly over the Thanksgiving weekend.

''It was an epiphany.''

Fucking Brilliant. Really. We need more epiphanies like these. When it comes to strats for Iraq this guy is a goddamn mental tyrannasaurus. Rawr. You know the "people formerly known as insurgents" will be so upset that they can no longer use the word on their resumes that they'll just have to look for a new line of work. Man why didn't we think of this sooner? Guess that's why they pay him the big bucks eh?

When asked to provide an alternative the Secretary of Defense offered this gem "Enemies of the legitimate Iraqi government". Ooooo catchy. A total slap in the face. Deterrant-city. Massive pwnage.

What more can I say? The title says it all.

Yawn.
